Fish and Wildlife officials alerted police to the body around 11 a.m. Police said the location is near Lake Underhill Road and Palmer Street, just south of State Road 408 and Orlando Executive Airport.

It's unclear to police how long the body has been there, and the age and sex of the individual have not yet been determined.

"Oh my God, I was just so surprised."

That is how Pat Minicahiello, and many who live around Lake Underhill, reacted to the news that authorities found the decomposed body.

"And I have been on the lake a lot of times. I just love that lake. I can't imagine what happened," Minicahiello said.

Dive teams were seen Monday in the water, searching.

Lake Underhill is a popular place. Local resident Alicia Spears told WESH 2 News that she and a friend walk around Lake Underhill three times a week.

"We actually did not walk this morning. I was like, 'Oh my gosh. It's a good thing we didn't walk.' It kind of makes me nervous," Spears said.
